Features & Benefits

A. BUILT-IN SAFETY DEVICES

1. SAFETY LID LOCK: The Pressure Lid tabs connect under the Base tabs to lock the Pressure Lid to the Base when fully closed.
2. POSITIVE PRESSURE MECHANISM (FLOAT VALVE): When the pressure reaches a required point, the pressure lifts the Float Valve up, contacting the Locking Pin.
3. LID POSITIONING SENSOR: A magnetic sensor indicates whether the Lid is fully closed. The Unit will beep and display "LID" when the Lid is not locked or is not required for a preprogrammed setting.
4. LID INNER TRAY (GUARD): The Inner Lid of the Pressure Lid prevents food from entering the Upper Lid and entering the Float Valve and Pressure Release Chambers.
5. ANTI-BLOCKAGE GUARD: Guards the underside of the Pressure Release Valve.
6. TWO-STEP SECURITY RESET FOR QUICK RELEASE: To open the Pressure Lid, slide the Steam Release Switch to the Open position to release steam. Continue holding the Steam Release Switch in the Open position until all steam has escaped. Once steam is no longer emitting from the Unit, you must release the Steam Release Switch to open the lid.

7. EXCESS PRESSURE RELEASE SYSTEM: The Pressure Release Valve regulates the pressure inside the Unit to a controlled value. When sufficient pressure has built up inside the Unit, the Pressure Release Valve opens to release excess pressure.

8. AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE CONTROL: The temperature is regulated by the programming to maintain a consistent temperature.

9. PRESSURE CONTROLLER: The Inner Pot sits on a pressure plate. When there is too much pressure, the plate depresses and turns off the heater, which stops the pressure from increasing.
10. ELECTRICAL (CURRENT-TEMP)

PROTECTION: There is a temperature sensor on the Base of the Unit. When the temperature rises above the preprogrammed setting, the heater shuts off and then fluctuates to allow the Unit to maintain the correct temperature.

1. ANTI-TAMPER FLOAT VALVE GUARD:
   A screen on the Lid covers the Float Valve, so it cannot be tampered with.
2. AUTO LID PROGRAM SELECTOR: The Sous Vide, Steam, Sauté, Slow Cook, and Yogurt presets will not start if the Pressure Lid is locked. The Glass Lid must be used for these settings to prevent splatter and maintain a consistent temperature. The Air Fry preset will not start unless the Air Frying Lid is in place.
3. SMART COOLING TECHNOLOGY: The Air Frying Lid runs for 2 minutes after the cooking cycle is complete to cool down the lid.

Features & Benefits

B. SPECIAL FEATURES

1. LED DISPLAY: The LED Display on your Emeril Lagasse Pressure AirFryer Plus offers a wide range of 12 preprogrammed settings. Cooking time may be adjusted to suit any recipe or personal preference or may be delayed to meet required time frames.

2. KEEP WARM MODE: At the completion of the cooking cycle, except for Sous Vide and Yogurt, the Unit will automatically switch to Keep Warm mode. Keep Warm mode keeps cooked food warm for up to 24 hours. Do not use Keep Warm mode to warm uncooked food.

NOTE: Foods kept at Keep Warm mode for longer than 6–8 hours may lose flavor and texture.

1. STEAM RELEASE SWITCH: Slide the Steam Release Switch on the top of the Pressure Lid from the Closed position to the Open position. Doing so quickly lowers the pressure inside the Unit by opening the Pressure Release Valve.

WARNING: After sliding the Steam Release Switch from the Closed Position to the Open position, hot steam and/or liquid can emit

from the Pressure Release Valve. Keep bare hands or exposed skin away from the Pressure Release Valve when it is emitting HOT steam. Do not attempt to open the Pressure Release Valve manually. Always use the Steam Release Switch.

1. ONE-TOUCH TECHNOLOGY: With 12 preprogrammed settings, your family's favorite homemade meals can be quickly and easily cooked to perfection in a single pot with a single touch of a button and a turn of a dial.

2. COOL-TO-THE-TOUCH LID HANDLE: The Handle stays cool to the touch, so you can open the lids even when there is hot food inside. It is always recommended to use oven mitts when opening the lids after the cooking cycle is complete. Be sure your mitts allow you to maintain a sufficient grip on the lid.

3. STAINLESS STEEL INNER POT: The Inner Pot is made of stainless steel, which means it is completely PTFE and PFOA free.

Releasing Pressure After Pressure Cooking

NATURAL RELEASE AND RAPID RELEASE

Natural release and rapid release are two common methods used to depressurize a pressure cooker once active cooking is complete. Pressure cookers use steam pressure that builds up inside the closed pot to cook food. As the pot heats up, the liquid inside forms steam, which raises the pressure in the pot, cooking food at up to triple the normal rate. After active cooking is complete, the pressure built up inside the pressure cooker needs to be released.

The Emeril Lagasse Pressure AirFryer Plus has a safety mechanism that prevents the Pressure Lid from opening until the pressure has been lowered. There are two ways to release the pressure within the Unit: natural release and rapid release. While both methods depressurize the Unit, the process for each method differs, and each process has a different impact on the food inside the Unit.

HOW NATURAL RELEASE WORKS AND WHEN TO USE IT

Natural release lets pressure reduce slowly on its own. Once the active cooking cycle is complete, you can press the Cancel Button on the Control Panel and the pressure will automatically drop inside the pressure cooker slowly. Because of this slow drop in pressure and heat, when using natural release, food continues cooking even though active cooking is complete.

Use this method when cooking meats, foods that increase in volume or that foam (like dried beans and legumes), soups, or any other foods that are primarily liquid.

Timing for natural release varies and will differ based on the type and amount of food being cooked. Generally, natural release takes between 20 and 60 mins.

NOTE: check that all pressure has been released by sliding the Steam Release Switch to the Open position and let go. There should not be any steam releasing from the Unit.

Releasing Pressure After Pressure Cooking

HOW RAPID RELEASE WORKS AND WHEN TO USE IT

To use rapid release, once the active cooking cycle is complete, cancel the cooking cycle by pressing the Cancel Button. Then, slide the Steam Release Switch to the Open position, let go of the Steam Release Switch, and wait for the steam to evacuate. Once the steam has been released, the Pressure Lid will slide open freely.

The rapid release process requires an extra degree of care because a burst of steam is released through the Pressure Release Valve. Rapid release takes no more than a few minutes and works best with foods

like eggs, vegetables, or delicate ingredients that do not benefit from any extra cooking time. This method is also helpful when you need to check the doneness of food or to add additional ingredients to the Emeril Lagasse Pressure AirFryer Plus, such as when cooking a stew.

Avoid using rapid release when cooking foods that foam, froth, or increase in volume, such as legumes, or foods that are mostly liquid, such as soup, because the liquid can boil up and vent through the Pressure Release Valve.

AIR FRYING TIPS

• Foods that are smaller in size usually require a slightly shorter cooking time than larger foods.
• Large quantities of food only require a longer cooking time than smaller quantities.

• Adding a bit of vegetable oil to fresh potatoes is suggested for a crispier result. When adding oil, do so just before cooking and add only a small amount onto the potato.

• Snacks normally cooked in an oven can also be cooked in the Pressure AirFryer Plus.

• Use premade dough to prepare filled snacks quickly and easily. Premade dough also requires a shorter cooking time than homemade dough.
• You can use the Pressure AirFryer Plus to reheat foods. Simply set the temperature and time to however warm you want your food.

Sous Vide

Using traditional cooking methods, heat is transferred from a hot burner or oven to a pan and then to your food, which is heated from the outside to the middle. Using guesswork and a little luck, you sometimes get good results, but the food is often overdone on the outside and sometimes undercooked toward the center. The heat generated by a pan or air inside an oven is usually much hotter than it needs to be. If you don't remove the food at precisely the right time, results will be inconsistent.

Sous vide cooking utilizes precise temperature control to produce results that you cannot achieve

through any other cooking technique. Set up the Emeril Lagasse Pressure AirFryer Plus as shown in this manual; place your seasoned food in a slider, snap shut, or vacuum-sealable food storage bag; place the bag in the water; and set the time and temperature. Your food will cook to perfect doneness. Once cooked, you can leave the food in the water bath until you are ready to serve.

NOTE: Do not keep food heated at the temperature beyond the completion of its cooking cycle. Doing so can cause a loss of flavor or texture.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Put seasoned food in a sealable bag(s).

2. Remove as much air as possible from the bags(s) before sealing. You may use a vacuum sealer for best results.

3. Pour water into the Inner Pot, being careful not to add so much water that the water passes the FULL CUP Line when the bags are added.

NOTE: You can place the food bags in the Inner Pot first and then add the water to ensure that the water does not fill above the FULL CUP Line. Then, remove the bags before beginning the cooking cycle and preheating the water.

1. Press the Sous Vide Button. You may press the Timer Button and use the +/- Buttons to adjust the time to a custom time setting. Then, press the Temp Button and use the +/- Buttons to adjust the cooking temperature to your desired temperature.

2. The Unit will start heating up. Once the desired cooking temperature has been reached, Unit will beep and the timer will begin counting down.

3. Carefully place the food bag in the water. Make sure you don't drop the bag in the water.

4. Once the timer has completed, use tongs to remove the sealed bag with food. Do not use your hands because the water will be hot. Do not press the Keep Warm Button.

SOUS VIDE TIPS

NOTE: Do not place food in the water without placing it in a sealable bag.

• You may add seasonings and rubs to food before bagging.
• Always use BPA-free vacuum-seal or snap seal food storage bags for cooking.
• The thickness of meat, poultry, or fish will determine the cooking time. Use a food thermometer after removing food from the bag to guarantee that a safe food temperature has been reached.

- For health and safety, if unsure of doneness, add 30 mins. to the cooking time (for example, to pasteurize eggs or poultry).

- Ensure that the sealed bag with food is constantly submerged so the food is fully cooked. Clip a food-safe or sous vide weight (not included) to the food bag.

- Searing after cooking gives foods a finished look and texture. To achieve this, toss butter into a smoking-hot skillet and quickly sear cooked meat for 30 secs. on each side.

- Cook fruit to make toppings, purées, and syrups. Cook for 2–2 12 hours at 160° F and let cool in the bag before using.

THE YOGURT-MAKING PROCESS

1. Place the Inner Pot in the Base.
2. Pour 2 qts. of whole or 2% milk into the Inner Pot.
3. Press the Yogurt Button. The LED Display will show "5:00." The Unit wil start heating up.
4. Once the Unit reaches 180^ F, the Unit will stop heating and the LED Display will show "COOL."
5. Once the milk reaches 110°F, the Emeril Lagasse Pressure AirFryer Plus will beep and the LED Display will show "ADD." Using a ladle or measuring cup, remove 1 cup of milk from the Inner Pot. Mix the 1 cup milk with 2 tbsp. yogurt or yogurt starter. Then, return the milk mixture into the Inner Pot with the remaining heated milk and stir gently.
6. Press the Yogurt Button. You may press the Timer Button and use the +/- Buttons to adjust the time to a custom time setting.

NOTE: If the Yogurt Button is not pressed, the Unit will beep continuously, and the Emeril Lagasse Pressure AirFryer Plus will return to standby mode.

1. Place the Glass Lid on the Emeril Lagasse Pressure AirFryer Plus.

2. Leave the Emeril Lagasse Pressure AirFryer Plus undisturbed, allowing the yogurt to incubate for 4 -10 hours.

3. Once the incubation is complete, remove the yogurt, and store in a container in the refrigerator.

Yogurt

TIPS

• The incubation process can be shorter (as low as 4 hours) or longer (as long as 10 hours) depending on the desired thickness of the yogurt. Longer incubation periods produce thicker, tarter yogurt.
• For thicker, Greek-style yogurt: After incubation, spoon the yogurt into a cheesecloth-lined colander set over a bowl and let the yogurt

drain for at least 1 hr. (let thicker yogurt drain overnight) in the refrigerator. Discard or reserve the whey (the liquid that passes through the cheesecloth).

- Yogurt can be stored in the refrigerator in covered glass, ceramic, or plastic containers for up to two weeks (the flavor will be best within the first week).

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the material of construction?

This appliance has a stainless steel housing and Inner Pot.

2. How do you assemble/disassemble the Unit?

This appliance comes fully assembled with the Float Valve, Pressure Release Valve, and Inner Lid already assembled in the Pressure Lid. Attach the Condensation Collector before operation (see PREPARING FOR PRESSURE COOKING, p. 18).

3. What is the default time?

Each cooking mode has a default time that appears as soon as you select a desired program button. Before the timer on the LED Display begins counting down, the appliance must first reach the proper pressure and/or temperature for that mode.

4. How long does it take for the Unit to reach full pressure and for the cook time clock to start a countdown?

When the Unit reaches the desired cooking pressure, the cooking time will begin counting down. The time required to reach the desired pressure setting depends on the volume, concentration, and ratios of solid to liquid in the Unit – generally 5–40 mins.
